%X A new species, Eucalyptus     wilcoxii Boland &amp; Kleinig, is described. Its taxonomic position is in subgenus     Symphyomyrtus, series Viminales following the informal classification of eucalypts     proposed by Pryor and Johnson. In adult characters it superficially resembles E.     baeuerlenii F. Muell. but differs markedly from that species in its shortly petiolate and     narrow-elliptical seedling and juvenile leaves and in its smaller and shortly pedicellate     fruit. The species is known only from the vicinity of Mother Woila Mountain in Deua     National Park, New South Wales. Evidence for recognition of this taxon was gathered     from the comparative morphology of E. wilcoxii and E. baeuerlenii. The oil composition     of adult leaves and isozyme analyses of seeds showed clear differences although the wood     anatomy was not distinguishable between the two species. The ecology, distribution,     taxonomic status, natural affinities and conservation status of E. wilcoxii are discussed.
